Giuliani doesn't want to sue Trump for $2m. His creditors might make him do it anyway

Rudy Giuliani could be forced to sue longtime ally Donald Trump by a group of creditors that the cash-strapped former New York City mayor owes tens of millions of dollars. The Committee of Unsecured Creditors, which represents individuals and entities to whom Mr Giuliani owes money, are discussing making Mr Giuliani file a lawsuit against Trump to get their money, a source close to the matter told The Independent.
The group has had ongoing discussions since early February, the source says, about possible litigation against Mr Trump in an effort to collect $2m in Mr Giulianis unpaid legal fees. The disgraced lawyer claims he is owed that amount for his spurious effort to overturn 2020 election results. Legally, the committee can use the bankruptcy court to compel Mr Guiliani to sue the former president.
That could happen despite Mr Giuliani saying during his recent bankruptcy hearing that he was adamant he was owed by either the Trump campaign or the Republican National Committee not Mr Trump himself. Mayor Giuliani will not be suing President Trump, Ted Goodman, Mr Giulianis political advisor, told The Independent in response to learning that the committee is discussing the potential lawsuit. A Trump spokesperson has not yet replied to a request for comment.
Mr Giulianis apparent reluctance to sue his former client would not come as a surprise. The two New Yorkers have had a decades-long bond that culminated in Mr Giuliani advising Mr Trump on his 2016 and 2020 campaign but $2m worth of unpaid wages could test an already strained partnership.
